Well, either you guys aren't talking about anything, or I have a lack of ability to add to existing subjects. Either way, I'm going to start a new subject...NOW!
To fully enjoy this topic, it is highly recommended to listen to this while reading it:

Now, most of us should be at least a little informed on the subject of Meta Knight winning a vast majority of tourneys, whether it is from experience, and/ or boards. We all have asked ourselves the question:
Why is Meta Knight winning so many tourneys?
Now, I'm sure over 90% can only think of one reason:
Meta Knight is broken, unfair to use, and the game made him too good.
This translates to:
It's the game's fault.
Now, for Meta Knight to win tourneys, people have to be playing for him right? Well, the more people that play for him, you can generally say, the chances of him winning is raised. I did a minimal amount of searching, and found no articles showing the most used characters in tourneys. I am very sure though, the amount of people who use a character, greatly affects their ranking in tourneys. This presents us with a different question:
Why do so many people use Meta Knight?
Or more importantly:
Why do so many skilled people use Meta Knight?
We must go through the mind of the pro player. We must pretend we are a pro player, which has not picked a main yet. Although there are some exceptions, generally a pro sets their mind on one character, and is determined to be good with that character. You may say people play for Meta Knight based on his reputation, but how did he get his reputation? People did not receive their disk with a list of future tourney results, telling them to pick Meta Knight. They picked him for another reason. If you think hard, I think you know. Who do you want to represent you in a tourney? You want your character to be cool, someone who represents yourself. You want to play for someone who is BA (bad-ass). For those of you unaware of the definition:
Bad-Ass
1. Adjective. Having extremely favorable qualities
2. Adjective. Pertaining to a person or thing that is rugged, strong, and/or ready to show these qualities
As you can see this sums up everything we want to have represent us, and I think it's pretty obvious who is the most BA character in the game.
Jigglypuff
No, just kidding.
Meta Knight is the most BA character in the game.
For those of you not convinced, I will go over all of his qualities that help him achieve the rank of most BA. When you think about any of your favorite heroes, they all have an enemy. Many of them have another person who they don't know whether to fear, or embrace. He is definitely evil, but he has a code of honor, and at times, even joins the forces of good. This makes him extremely cool for some reason, and Meta Knight is that character in his series. There are other evil characters in the game, but they are the main villain, not the side one as I have explained.
Not only is he evil, but he is very mysterious. He is always wearing a very cool mask that only reveals his yellow eyes. No one has even seen his face! He has no background, no history, and no apparent reason for his actions. And what makes a character cooler than a cape? It is a respected costume piece worn for the sole purpose of making you look cooler. Even better, his cape turns into wings, which allow him to fly. They aren't the gay fairy wings either, they are BA bat wings. We will now examine his weapon, a sword. It is the most popular weapon among videogame heroes, and his is very unique. It seems to be made of gold, and its design is rigged, not long and straight. It also has a red jewel of some sort embedded in it. Not only does he have an awesome sword, but he has his own army, complete with battleship.
After all this we have come to the conclusion:
Meta Knight wins a vast majority of tourneys because is the most played character. He is the most played character because he is the most BA character.
I hope this has been an informing experience. And has opened your eyes to the true reason why Meta Knight is winning all the tourneys. The answer is not banning him, but we must make him less BA. I suggest we make it tourney standard to use a set of textures for Meta Knight that unmasks him, removes his cape, and makes his sword plain and regular. If possible we can petition for Nintendo to release a new game featuring our new Meta Knight, being Kirby's new sidekick, without being evil at all, or even being that strong.
